I don't think there is really good sweet corn here...or at least we haven't found it. I am missing Ohio corn.
As a fellow Ohioan I couldn't agree more. There is NO corn like ours. Stop at a roadside stand, pick up just enough ears for dinner, cook em up and you're in corn heaven!

IMHO the best way to cook corn is to drop shelled corn into boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Don't overcook!

Just bought corn at the supermarket out of desperation. It was awful. I honestly don't know what we'll do about the corn situation when we move to TV. Sigh! Graciegirl, maybe we need to start a support group!
